Allen Buchanan, a well-known commercial real estate broker and columnist for the Orange County Register, is celebrating several milestones in his career. With 40 years in the industry and 10 years as a columnist, he reflects on some of the craziest moments he’s experienced.
One memorable incident involved a collapsing parking lot just days before closing escrow. Another story recounts being trapped on a balcony during a property tour. Buchanan also recalls a run-in with the police during a property inspection and a lucky break with rain washing away contaminants on a site.
The financial crisis of 2008 was a particularly frightening time for Buchanan, but he persevered and rebounded. Even the recent pandemic initially seemed disastrous, but industrial real estate values soared due to the increase in online shopping.
Buchanan’s career has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, but he remains resilient and adaptable. As he looks forward to the future, he is grateful for the privilege of doing what he loves and sharing his experiences with others.
